Schrader, who has repeatedly called for tougher tax and budget changes to make significant reductions in the deficit, said in an appearance on C-Span Thursday that "we're kidding the American people that we're getting something done here."

"Until we have the political will and courage to step up and make some smart moves and changes in our social safety net and tax reform," Schrader added, "we're wasting our time here."

I
hope this is a first step toward a more collaborative budget process
and an open dialogue
on our shared priorities for federal spending. It is not perfect, and
it is not a final solution, but it is a negotiated bipartisan effort
that, in the balance, is worthy of support.”

However, his primary opponent, Klamath County Commissioner Dennis Linthicum, joined in criticizing the deal.

"Once again Republicans, led by John Boehner
and Greg Walden, are working with Democrats to increase spending on the
taxpayers’ back while promising “savings” somewhere in their imaginary
fiscal future," Linthicum said on his Facebook page.

DeFazio, who often parts way with his party leadership on votes, said he couldn't support a budget agreement that left alone tax breaks for the well-to-do while not continuing to provide extended unemployment benefits.

Said DeFazio in a statement:

While
my Republican colleagues think the unemployed are living the good life,
I suggest they try feeding their family on unemployment benefits. They
won’t need to make those tough decisions because the deal did not close a
single
tax loophole for the wealthy.
